CNN anchor Anderson Cooper told late night talk show host Stephen Colbert on Monday that he has muted President Donald Trump on Twitter.
Colbert first asked Cooper how his weekend was. Cooper said he had traveled to film a "60 Minutes" report before describing how he does not see the president's tweets anymore.
"I've actually muted the president on Twitter," Cooper said. "Don't tell him. I muted him."
"What? You can do that?" Colbert asked.
"Yeah, you know, when you get annoying people tweeting you, you don't want to delete because then that tells them you've deleted them," Cooper said. "So if you just mute them they think you're still following them, and you don't actually see their tweets."
Cooper then explained that he had not seen Trump's tweets over the weekend until he got back to work
"I get back on Sunday and I finally turn on my phone again. I'm like, ‘What!'" Cooper said, referencing Trump's accusation that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower.
Cooper went on to say that CNN is an objective news source, Newsbusters reports, also noting some of Cooper's past praise for Obama.
Indeed
Keyboard spew alert
I get a sense that all of this is staged propaganda and that cooper and Colbert are getting bonuses to disseminate the notion that trump’s tweets should be ignored in favor of msm regurgitated news. Trump is directly challenging the msm with his tweets so something like this might be to be expected.
Makes sense.
If there was ever anyone that epitomizes the ‘elite’ in this country, it is Anderson Vanderbilt-Cooper - yes, those Vanderbilts.
He will still dance to Trumps tune.
Anderson “In The Pooper” Cooper gets “muted” dozens of times at his nightly gay sex orgies...
Some guy tried to punch this lying diseased Sodomite in the mouth, but his fist just bounced off the buttocks of Cooper’s latest boyfriend...
If a tree fell on him, it’d just be another ‘partner’.
Anderson Cooper you claim to be a news reporter and you mute/block the President of the United States? You are not a news reporter, you are a propagandist.
